Bus Routes (2)

Here's the reply from the authority.... What can I say???


Dear Mr Teo

We refer to your email of 18 October 2010.

Feeder bus services play the important roles of feeding coumuters to/from the MRT stations as well as connecting residents to key amenities within the estates. In the case of Service 334, it connects residents in Jurong West St 42 and Jurong East Ave 1 areas to the MRT station, bus interchange and amenities like the library in Jurong East. Being the transport hub for the area, residents can conveniently transfer to other bus services or the train via the East West or North South Lines. If residents wish to access Lakeside MRT Station, they can still do so using Service 98 or 187 along Jurong West Ave 1. The situation is similar for the case of Service 229, which connects residents to the MRT station, bus interchange and amenities like the hawker center and Polyclinic at Bedok. For Bedok South residents wishing to go to Tanah Merah MRT Station, they can do so using Service 12 or 14.

Given the above considerations, we find the connectivity to MRT stations for these two areas to be reasonable. Nevertheless we note your feedback and we will keep it under consideration for future review as land use and transport development evolve over time.

We thank you for writing in. Yours sincerely
